Greetings Slipperfolk... Just a quick introduction of myself as I begin to participate in this forum.
I've only been growing orchids about 33 years, and seriously into slippers for about 10 years, so still just a beginner. Really into Parvi Paphs these days and a few other favoritie species, and intersectional crosses with multiflorals or sequential flowering types. Also a big fan of Cyps, but not currently growing any.
I'm starting to look seriously at Paph breeding, and coming from an academic background that includes plant breeding and plant genetics I find my perspective differs from many experienced orchid breeders. But I expect to participate in many areas of the forum, not just breeding issues, and I'm looking forward to it.
